Re: Manhattan Club Maintenance Fees: to pay or not to pay / repercussions (by Susan K.):

I have always dutifully paid my dues since TMC began in the 90's. My units each had maintenance fees of $795/yr. My most recent bill is $3,089 per unit! This is the first time I'm seriously thinking of not paying my fees. Have been told that I will incur high late fees...which concerns me, of course. I've never stayed at TMC because I live only about 20 miles north of the club. I purchased it because I was sold on the idea of use of the big gym, the meeting rooms for free except a $15 clean-up fee...and I could always bank with RCI. The big clincher was that they were determined to always keep the price UP...that's why TMC has "first rights of approval on possible sales...meaning that they get to buy it." The rest you all know: the gym became tiny and owners could no longer access it except during stays there, the meeting rooms cost $300-400 to rent, etc., etc. I've read that many of you are no longer paying your maintenance fees. Have there been terrible repercussions for doing so? Thanks.
